ZDP Endura and a double stuff 2. One of my favorite steels and a stone I’ve been very interested in. Can’t wait!

I'm curious to know what you'll think of it after some carry and use ! It's a model that I've been interested in for a while now. I really like Spyderco's XHP, but only have it on 2 knives.
I'm very sorry for the late reply. I'm one of the worst persons to ask for a long-term review as I tend to bring a different knife every day.
During the handful of times I've carried the knife, I found it to be comfortable in hand. I can just get a full four finger grip on it, but I have smaller hands than most on the forum.
My Rhino doesn't drop shut when I unlock the compression lock, perhaps due to the light weight of the blade. I actually prefer it that way, as opposed to the Yojimbo 2 or Amalgam, which feel like a guillotine when closing.
The trailing point was a bit tricky to use when stabbing into something, as I only have two knives with this profile and haven't attained the needed muscle memory for it.
CTS-XHP is a joy to touch up on the Sharpmaker and a strop. It's one of my favorite steels from Spyderco. Hope this helps.
Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
No problem, I was asking because CTS-XHP is also a steel I love from Spyderco. I can sharpen it to a pretty high grit and it keeps its bite. A fellow french AFI was selling his Rhino, but I ended up buying the Sun&Moon Chaparral . I think that overall, the geometry and blade shape will be better for me.mikey177 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 27, 2022 11:50 pmI'm very sorry for the late reply.

I have nothing against a trailing point, but I prefer for it to be on a 3.5" blade or more !
In the collection : Lots of different steels, in lots of different (and same) Spydercos.

That's good to hear, Ramonade. The Chaparral is always a solid choice.

Stretch XL
I was holding out for either a k390 variant or some sort of exclusive but finally caved…vg10 is great and there’s nothing wrong with a base model. Some of my favorite knives are vanilla variants so hey…should be in on Monday

Not really a spyderco I guess, but I ordered some Rockscale Designs titanium scales for my m390 manix 2. Curious to see how the feel in hand.
